This Baked Camembert with Berries, Thyme and Wine is what dreams are made of. Creamy, luscious Comfort Cream camembert is topped with blueberry jam that has been mixed with a touch of wine, thyme, pepper and then baked. When it’s removed from the oven, it’s topped with fresh berries and walnuts. What you then have is oozing, melted cheese, perfect for slathering on some toasted baguette. Now that’s good eats!

Hello everyone! Today I’m showcasing a gorgeous Canadian camembert cheese called Comfort Cream made by Upper Canada Cheese Company. Located in Ontario, this cheesemaker is committed to the farm-to-table concept and follow minimal food processing intervention to ensure the purest cheese possible. That sounds good to me! Let the ingredients and product shine, ya know?

What is Comfort Cream Camembert Cheese?

Let’s just take a hot minute and think about that name – ‘Comfort Cream.’ I don’t know about you, but the name alone gives me all sorts of warm fuzzies. I’m such a sucker for things like that. Comfort Cream is made from fresh Guernsey milk, a rare, highly prized breed of dairy cow. This artisanal cheese is aged for a minimum of four weeks, after which it is hand-salted, turned and wrapped. It has white rind and inside that goodness is a super rich and creamy interior with a tangy finish. Hungry yet? I am ! #Always 😉

PREPARATION

This recipe couldn’t get easier, you guys. I could honestly make a meal out of just this. Annnnd, I could totally eat this all by myself. I’m pretty sure my clothes wouldn’t thank me, but my belly would.

Rind or no rind? Some people like to eat the rind of camembert cheese, which I have done in the past. However, for this recipe, I removed it, which I recommend you do too; it makes things a lot easier when servingso all you have to do when it’s baked is to get dunkin’ with that bread.

In under 15 minutes (including prep), this Baked Camembert with Berries, Thyme and Wine could be yours. Yep. No lie. Mix your favourite blueberry jam with some wine (cause this cheese, like most, pairs beautifully with wine), add a pinch of black pepper and some fresh thyme. Bake for about 8-10 minutes. When the time is up, carefully remove from the oven, garnish with a few fresh blueberries, more thyme and walnuts if your little heart desires. Serve alongside fresh baked baguette. Told ya it was easy!

USE WHAT YOU HAVE

I’m all about using what you have on hand, especially when a recipe is as simple as this one. Or, if you don’t like a certain ingredient, sub it out with something comparable. If you don’t have blueberry jam in the fridge or strawberries are your jam (haha…no pun intended), then switch it up! This recipe is pretty laid back (if a recipe could be that). Another lovely combination to use with this Comfort Cream cheese is strawberry jam with tarragon and fresh strawberries. The upcoming summer season begs for easy recipes. No one has time to spend hours in the kitchen when the sun is blasting outside, am I right? Make something easy (like this recipe), go outside and enjoy the company of friends and family. Good stuff!

SURPRISE GUESTS? NO PROBLEM!

Speaking of enjoying time with friends and family—>you should always have an emergency supply of cheese in your fridge. Yes, this is not a drill. Why? Because it is so darn easy to whip something up quickly when unexpected guests arrive at your house and they want a little nosh. Put this deliciousness in front of them and it looks like you have your fancy pants on. But, secretly, you know how easy it was. Then again, if you served this to every guest that came to your house, they’d never leave 😉

Hope you love this Baked Camembert with Berries, Thyme and Wine made with delicious Canadian cheese.

Oh My! Dawn, This Baked Camembert with Berries, Thyme and Wine is INDEED what dreams are made of … sooo sooo decadently delicious – a true hit with guests for sure!
There was this one time I took a cooking class (a long while ago) and one of the dishes was baked brie with peaches and berries and looks like camembert is so much more decadent than brie – so so creamy! Now – I know my dreams are gonna be filled with this – thanks for that 🙂
Hope you had a wonderful weekend!

What a perfect flavor combination! I especially love that you added a bit of herbaceous flavor and, oh my, those fresh berries and melty cheese. I just ate lunch and now I’m hungry again!Marissa recently posted…Iceberg Wedge Salad with Blue Cheese and Bacon

This looks and sounds fantastic. I love the use of thyme in order to create a melty snack that is both fruity and herbaceous! I’m the worst person to have around bake camembert or brie, though. I just can’t stop eating it.

Berries with thyme are so yummy and on top of creamy, gooey cheese…even better. This looks delicious and I could easily make a meal out of it, too, lolNatalie Browne recently posted…Mango Ginger Smoothie

Big fan of herbs mixed with fruit and sweets, so this is a tasty looking treat to me Dawn. Love the packaging their cheese, too!
This gooey, gooey, creamy concoction looks dreamy and I wish I had some right now as I just picked dup a loaf of sourdough for dinner. YUM!

I could totally do cheese, bread & white for dinner… like every night! I love doing wine & cheese picnics too. This baked cheese dish looks like a crowd pleaser, and I love how easy it is to make it.Nicole @ Foodie Loves Fitness recently posted…My 7 Favorite Hikes in San Diego County

I can see why it’s called Comfort Cream – I feel better just looking at it! It looks so crazy creamy and then it gets all melty and laced with those gorgeous berries – drool worthy!

Baked Camembert paired with berries, thyme and wine? I’m sold! Especially if the Camembert has a name like Comfort Cream and is made from fresh Guernsey milk. It looks fantastic, craving it right now! Pinned!Nicoletta @sugarlovespices recently posted…Caesar Asparagus Artichoke Dip with Grilled Crostini

I’m sure this was unintentional but you’re TOTALLY killing me right now, girl! The pics of that gooey cheese are making me hungrier than I should be considering I’m eating breakfast as I type :). My mom makes baked camembert with roasted garlic and it’s insane but this looks even better. Because wine. I could eat this all day every day and be totally fine with it. Happy Monday, Dawn!Kelsie | the itsy-bitsy kitchen recently posted…Star-Spangled Blueberry Pie

Camembert is one of my favorites, Dawn and this wheel seems top quality… Love your oven baked, berry jam and wine version:) I can totally take care of the whole thing by myself, so your advice to always have a stash of cheese on hand is very well received:) There must be some for the guests after all:)… as in a second wheel of camembert. The baguette slices look great!Milena | Craft Beering recently posted…Vienna Lager Marinated Grilled Steak Sandwich

This looks soooo good Dawn! I love everything cheese especially gooey ones especially ones paired with jams especially ones made with wine!! This was made for me 🙂 I gotta pass by our local cheese shop this gotta get in my belly soon. Have a wonderful week!

Totally digging the berries, thyme and wine! I could most definitely eat this as my dinner! Cheers, sweet cheeks!

Yep! All the warm and fuzzies with that name! As soon as I read it I was IN! Between the colors and textures, I have a feeling this will be a very popular appetizer all summer long! Thanks for sharing, my dear! This is a winner! Pinned! Cheers! XOXOannie@ciaochowbambina recently posted…Soul Snacks

Oh, I am all about some camembert, Dawn! Funny story: way back when I first met Laura, she sent me to the store to get some brie. I mistakenly bought camembert because (1) I wasn’t into food as much back then and (2) I wasn’t paying attention. But we used the camembert, and it was amazing. I’ve been a fan ever since! I’m totally digging the little bit of wine + thyme here. What a fun summer appetizer! If I’m eating camembert with crackers, I leave the rind on. But for a dish like this, I would go rindless, too. Looks amazing, my friend!!David @ Spiced recently posted…Grilled Tomato Basil Pizza

Gorgeous!! I totally pinned this and feel like it 100% needs to make an appearance at my next gathering. It’s seriously stunning and would obviously be perfect with a nice big glass of red 🙂Sues recently posted…Friday I’m in Love: So Much Celebrating

This sounds like such a delicious appetizer, Dawn! I will admit that I’ve never heard of comfort cream camembert cheese before, but it gives me the warm and fuzzies, too. Especially after seeing this deliciousness! I love baked brie, so I can only imagine how delicious this must taste. And what a great idea to mix the fruit with wine! My kind of snack! Pinned! Hope your week is off to a great start!
